50 Excellent Baby Names.

Provided you don’t know what these words mean.


I used to work with an outfit that did a lot of baby information for mostly new, panicky parents, or prospective, panicky parents, and one of the perennial hot topics was "What to name the little beggar?"

    I think I would be okay with attar, rancor, or kern; maybe even virulent.

    I think Rancor would suit you. "Rancor Raf, at your service."

    I wish I could remember who, but there was a black comedian I saw once who said black children sound like they were named at the drugstore: Advil, Tylenol, and the twins, Murine and Visine.
